Patent application number | Description | Published |
20100123285 | MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE, CONTROL PROGRAM FOR MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR MEDIUM TRANSPORT DEVICE - A medium transport device includes a sensor unit, a timing data collection unit, and a sampling resolution changing unit. The sensor unit is provided in a transport path of a print recording medium to detect a transport timing of the print recording medium. A timing data collection unit receives an output from the sensor unit and samples the output at a sampling interval as timing data. A sampling resolution changing unit changes the sampling interval. | 05-20-2010 |
20100123914 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a determination unit determining, based on a pixel value of a prescribed background color area in image data obtained by inputting a printed image, and based on information regarding a color of a toner used in printing the image, whether or not the background color of the image corresponds to the color of the toner. | 05-20-2010 |
20100135680 | PAPER WRINKLE SIGN MONITORING DEVICE, PAPER WRINKLE SIGN MONITORING METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A paper wrinkle sign monitoring device includes: at least one timing detecting unit that is set on a transport path of a printing medium, and that detects transport timing of the printing medium; and a sign output unit that detects a sign of paper wrinkle generation in the transporting time of the printing medium based on the transport timing of the printing medium detected by the timing detecting unit, and that outputs the sign. | 06-03-2010 |
20100161546 | FAILURE DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM, A FAILURE DIAGNOSIS DEVICE, AN INFORMATION UPDATE DEVICE, AND A COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a failure diagnosis system including: a causal relationship information storage unit configured to store causal relationship information representing a causal relationship between events regarding a diagnosis-target apparatus, the causal relationship information including: common causal relationship information that is commonly used in a plurality of types of failure diagnosis regarding the diagnosis-target apparatus; and specific causal relationship information that is used in each specific type of failure diagnosis among the plurality of types of failure diagnosis; and a diagnosis execution unit configured to selectively execute the plural types of failure diagnosis by using a combined causal relationship information that is a combination of the common causal relationship information and a piece of the specific causal relationship information corresponding to a diagnosis-target type of failure diagnosis. | 06-24-2010 |
20100225052 | TRANSPORT DEVICE, OVERLAP FEED SIGN DETECTION DEVICE, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A transport device includes a feed unit that feeds transport subjects being loaded in a loading portion one by one in a transport direction, a protrusion amount detection unit that detects a protrusion amount of the transport subjects from the loading portion in the transport direction and an overlap feed sign detection unit that detects a sign of occurrence of overlap feed of the transport subjects based on a detection result of the protrusion amount. | 09-09-2010 |
20100235140 | DETECTED DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR DETECTING DATA - A detected data processing apparatus includes a selecting unit that calculates mutual correlation between a plurality of groups of detected data acquired from a detecting unit that detects an operational state of a circuit board, and then selects as analysis data the detected data of a group whose value indicating correlation with other groups is smaller than a threshold value set up in advance; and a first calculating unit that calculates a first Mahalanobis distance on a basis of a first Mahalanobis space generated by using the analysis data selected by the selecting unit from the detected data obtained when a normal circuit board is operated and on a basis of the detected data obtained when a circuit board of diagnosis target is operated. | 09-16-2010 |
20120140262 | IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, PROGNOSIS CRITERION SETTING APPARATUS, PROGNOSIS APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An image forming system includes first and second generation units, a setting unit, and a prognosis unit. For a monitoring item whose detection values, being detected during an image forming operation in an image forming apparatus in which a trouble occurred within a predetermined time period after an operating condition was changed, were changed to an abnormal state, the first generation unit generates characteristic information indicating a variation state of the detection values. The setting unit sets criterion information to predict occurrence of a trouble, based on the generated characteristic information. The second generation unit generates, for the monitoring item corresponding to the set criterion information, characteristic information indicating a variation state of detection values in a target image forming apparatus. The prognosis unit predicts whether a trouble occurs after the operating condition is changed, based on a difference between the set criterion information and the characteristic information generated. | 06-07-2012 |
20120176640 | IMAGE-FORMING SYSTEM, CRITERION-SETTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An image-forming system includes a determining section that, for each type of malfunction in image-forming apparatuses, determines a reference number of occurrences of the type of malfunction based on at least one of ( | 07-12-2012 |
20140010558 | MALFUNCTION INFERRING APPARATUS, MALFUNCTION INFERRING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A malfunction inferring apparatus includes an obtaining unit and an inferring unit. The obtaining unit obtains, from a first image forming apparatus and a second image forming apparatus which are used alternatively with each other by plural users, a first usage status of the first image forming apparatus and a second usage status of the second image forming apparatus. If a first change occurs in the first usage status and if a second change corresponding to the first change occurs in the second usage status, the inferring unit infers that a malfunction has occurred in any one of the first image forming apparatus and the second image forming apparatus, in accordance with the first usage status and the second usage status obtained by the obtaining unit. | 01-09-2014 |
